GRR Reviews Big Bad Daddy by Tia Siren

Big Bad Daddy tried to set up a nanny romance, but the young woman was way too much of a doormat until the end of the book, and it's just depressing to read.

Amy Lynn barely escaped from an abusive husband, but she doesn't have enough to leave town. She lived in a lousy apartment with a crappy job at a convenience store, while her ex, now a supervisor at the local market, was supposed to stay away due to a restraining order. But his words still haunt her. When she landed a live-in nanny job with billionaire author Jackson Ritter for his little daughter, things may actually go her way this time. Jackson Ritter loved his daughter but hated the circumstances that lead to her birth... Being a single daddy means he's missing publisher deadlines, and he had two weeks to hand in an outline to keep his publisher happy... or he'll have to return the advance, and he can't afford that. Amy Lynn became his muse, and he was able to get the outline done, and they got a little tipsy... they went to bed... Now she's having MAJOR inadequacy issues, her ex's words still echoing in her head: you're worthless, you are only good for f***ing... and she ran. Can Jackson make her see she is worth something other than sex, and deal with her ex permanently?

Jackson managed to pull a deus ex machina in the last second and saved the day, and that was pretty much the end of the novel. The evil ex was just too sociopathically evil, which makes him really flat. There's not much keeping Amy Lynn from her happiness, really, other than being scared of her ex.
